The 114270 is the Explorer that nobody noticed changing. It replaced the 14270 around 2001 with caliber 3130 in place of caliber 3000 — Parachrom hairspring, balance bridge, better shock and temperature resistance — and solid end links in place of folded. From the outside it is almost the late 14270 Swiss Made. Jon Bues, in Hodinkee's Explorer I collector's guide, wrote that "Changes are made incrementally, and sometimes that means the only upgrades in a new watch are hidden away behind a layer of steel." That is the 114270 in one sentence.
